    The Living Room’s service as usual was stellar. This is the second time we have had this server and she truly is fantastic! The food was very good and ambience was excellent. The my only issue was I called on the previous Monday to see if there was live music playing or dancing. The gentleman I was speaking with said that the hostess would either call me or email me back that evening. I waited 3 days and called the Thursday evening and left a message and still didn’t hear back from anyone.

    The service was excellent, friendly but professional. Everything came as ordered and in a timely fashion. Did not feel rushed, food was nicely paced. Food was good, a little overpriced. Cocktails were very good. Overall a good experience, will definitely return, and will recommend to others.
